02nd-April-2000
It was the inaugural party of our new house in Faridabad Delhi
"Someone has really said true that time and generation passes in shifting a house”
Same was the case with me and my life, our old house was of my grand father where me n my dad were born. A lot of emotion n happiness was attached with that place. But one or the other day one has to leave old things and the same we did. On that day we all enjoyed the party and next day
Next day what???
The next day some unusual thoughts haunted my mind.........I was scared.........coz my new school was going to start from 10th of April...Many unexpected questions were coming in my mind....how will be the school?? Will I be able to make friends?? How will be the teachers?? N many many more questions were coming in my mind.
With the fear I started doing shopping for my new school. New bag, new uniforms, new books etc.....And then came 9th April next day was my first day to school and on that night I was captured by school phobia. And on that night I started thinking of many excuses which will help me to miss school but none of them work worked on the next morning.
I was accompanied with my dad as it was my first day to school .I entered the school Ryan International School
And with that embarrassment I entered my new class 4th-B.I was welcomed with my class teacher Mrs Rocha Mehta she introduced me to the class and gave me a seat with a guy named Vaughan
I used to play with sandy for hours he was like a brother/frnd to me at that time. And the life moved on .
I was a really good student and intelligent too in those days But was really poor in art n drawing i was not able to draw a single thing i was so poor in it that I was not able to draw a straight line with help of scale also. I used to get my drawings made from my mom she is a sweetheart. In school she did my all art work.
On a day in school it was my art class going n usually i stayed tense in my art class as I didn’t knew anything about it. After talking to my teacher i went n sat on some one else's seat i was so dumb in those days .That seat was of a girl Juhi and i was drawing in her file using her colours. I was a shy kind of a boy and was really scared of girls. Then entered the scene juhi.
She asked me-Wat the hell r u doing on my seat??
Me- In shrilled voice wat??
Juhi-Why r u using my file and my colours.
I was scared! I stood up n she slapped me in front of whole class.
I was having no words to say. I was totally embarrassed and insulted in front of whole class .every one started making fun of me .
Some said -ladki ne thappad maar dia.
And some provoked to hit the girl
But I..........I did nothing and sat in a corner of the class thinking why does this happened to. a
In life we face many incidents and these incidents don’t stop our life .Life keeps on moving with its speed. And we to start life again.
In those days of my primary school life i was really shy and coward. I was easily threatened by anyone in the school.
Then entered a guy in my life Yajur Mahendru he was loved by everyone in school weather it was teachers,gals,guyz,princi and everyone.He used to threaten me everytime he used to slap me, push me kick me. In fact he was shorter than me in height then also i was afraid of him and he used to take advantage of this.He was a kind of hero in the school life.He was involved in every activity weather it was academics or sports he was excellent in everything .But he was villain in my life at that time.But there is a quote which later turned on to him.
Maati kahe kumhar se,tu kyon ronde moye
Ik din aisa aayega ,main rondungi toye
and later on in school life it turned according to the quote Yajur was threatened by me and he was afraid of me. I used to hit him.I took revenge. It’s a saying that every dog has day. Those days were mine. And i took advantage of that. But this all was childish. And when we grew up and got some brains. All misunderstandings were sought out and we became good friends and it was a happy ending for our friendship.
My school life was a dramatic life which had everyone villains, spoil t brats and everything which a story needed..
There was one more villain in my life my science teacher of fourth standard Mrs Monica sharma who turned out into an angel later. She used to teach me science and used to scold me a lot i was really scared of her, I was not poor in science but here also art n diagrams came. I didn't know drawing and was not in a habit to complete notebook. This habit brought many troubles to me and Monica mam use to show her big eyes and I was really scared because of that. But I never knew that the teacher whom I thought is a villain will turn out into best teacher, friend, philosopher, and guide later on in my life.
The days, months kept on passing and I was promoted to next class standard 5th and the troubles came again
You know why??
Coz this time my class teacher was Mrs Monica Sharma..........the same science teacher was back
And this time she was with a big role in school life she was my class teacher ......I guess it was in my destiny and there
Was no way to escape from it.......Everything was planned by God. Being so shy I was having only 1 or 2 frnds in class
And teachers were also having no opinion about me according to them I was a twonk as I was not interactive at all.
Children are used to talk a lot in that age. So Monica mam made a plan to change the seats and she got a new seating plan
That a boy will sit with a girl.
And at that time my old timidity to interact with girls came. I was tensed I didn’t wanted to sit with any girl. And one more reason behind it was that after a year also i remembered that I was slapped by Juhi and now I was scared because of girls. Slowly and slowly I started forgetting my fear of girls and started interacting with them but still at times I was shy.
The session was going really well Monica mam taught us English and at that time I developed liking for her. I started doing English home work regularly and one day when I submitted an essay on Rajasthan I got a complement from her that I can do better I was on cloud 9 at that time. And she turned into my favourite teacher.
As I was growing up my height was increasing, my thinking was changing, and I was changing both physically and mentally. Some of the changes were good and some were disastrous.
But all I believe that Primary school was founder of my life style. It was my primary school which taught me how to talk, how to walk and every basic thing. By the time I was 12 I was in 7th standard. In 7th standard I got a chance to meet great and interesting people and some of them were my friends also. Everyone was a character in our class.
At that time I made a friend Lakshay, Lakshay Arora. He was a great person and was a totally different character. He was bholu, simple, sweet and according to a girl he was a teddy bear. He was full of life though he was seedha saadha types. He was fun loving, zestful person and we all called him Rangeela. By this time I was friendly with some of the girls also. We were not friends but we used to interact. They were Nikhita and Parul. They used to always tease me by calling me manky and monkey. But I was never offended with it. Nikhita always used to tease me as I was shorter than her in height. And I used to feel bad about it. And always when I used to see her an advertisement came in my mind.
Mummy KO Bolo Complan Pian Ka…….
I was so embarrassed because of my height. But everything is according to time. I got a chance to interact with Nikhita and Parul because of a friend of mine Aman joshi. They were a kind of brother and sisters.. But Aman Joshi was a different person. He was a big eyed person and he ate everyone’s lunch in the break especially of girls. I always imagined how a person can eat so much. I didn’t even eat 10% of what Aman use to eat. I always imagined how a person can eat so much. But he was too much.
As I was I growing up I was loosing interest in studies and was generating interest in other things. I started wearing chains and bracelets as I thought it was cool and I looked good wearing those things. This was the major concern for my parents and they were worried a lot as I was not performing well in academics and my image in class was also not good.
Those days during cycle test I was not in a habit to study at all and I was in a habit to cheat. On the exam day I used to request Aman joshi to let me copy his paper.
As he was quite intelligent in those days. And Aman took some amount of money in exchange of letting me cheat. Our generation was totally corrupted.
7th standard was too much. In the beginning of the session every boy was worried as the majority of girls was more than boys as there were 17 boys and 18 girls in the class. And after two months of summer break entered a guy. He was Ankit Kumar. Every one so happy with his arrival. Boys were like shouting in the class. There was a sense of joy among all the boys as now the strength of boys and girls was the same.
Ankit Kumar changed the whole scene of the class after a month or two. He was very frank with everyone and especially with girls. He easily impressed any girl though he was not so smart. But he was love guru of those days.
His to much smart attitude was creating many enemies for him. As he was very sweet with girls and on the other hand very snobbish with guys. Every one was jealous of him and everyone wanted to follow footsteps of Ankit. Every boy wanted to be like him.
One day few of us were sitting at Pallavs place and Amit made a plan.
Let’s go to Ankits place…And then started a conversation on it.
But what will we do was the question??
We will kick him out and teach him a lesson..
No no we can’t do this…
Lets go man don’t talk like this..
No we can’t…..
U all are coward….Lets go na
After a short conversation we went to his place. But when we were standing outside his place something clicked in our mind and we thought that we will throw stones on the main gate of Ankits place. And Ankit, Devanshu and Lakshay picked up stones in their hand and threw it on the main gate of his house. While we were running from there I don’t know how Ankit managed to see me and Devanshu. And I was in a great trouble I was scolded by my parents a lot. Mistake was all mines. So I deserved it.
After few days all the matter was soughed out and me n Ankit were friends now It was the starting of my teenage. So some symptoms of teenage were coming. I started liking a girl. She was a beautiful girl and I was her secret admirer. She was……….She was adorable, She was like carved by gods own hand. She was too good. I liked her but I was not able to express my feelings to her but she was a friend of mine. I just think of a song when I see her.
Tareef karoon kya Uski Jisne Tumhe Banaya…….
I dint told anything about her to anyone. Life was too good she was in my class and my friend too. It was our 9th standard I got a chance to make a few more ever lasting friends.
I met AKash V Kumar Sharma Aka Chowmin Aka . He was a guy full of talent he was good in many other extracurricular activity. He knew to play Chota Packet bada Dhamaka
And I met 1 more friend padhakoo Bandaa Aka Pranshu Bhola bhala seedha sa aka chu chu . He was a studious type of a guy. He was topper of the class I don’t how we all managed to make an intelligent friend like him he used to study a lot.
We all were together and we made a group. We all use to share all the things with each other. Our friendship was growing day by day and we were becoming like the best friends. We all use to enjoy a lot that time as we all were single in those days and it was good as we were able to spend most of time with each other. Those were the best days of our lives as we all were together in the same class.
Days were passing like minutes and hours and I started liking ……….
More and more day by day but still I was not having guts to express my feelings. Actually I am never able to express my feelings to anyone.
But my friends helped me a lot in expressing my feelings and Ankit kumar worked as an angel for me. He helped me as he informed her that I like her and so on.
On 24th-feb-2006
It was the day when my love story began. It was the beginning of new life. I still remember that it was our English exam that day and after exam we all were standing near busses at the dispersal time and I told her…. That I will call her at 2 as I need to talk something. But she was knowing what I want to tell her and I went back home. When I reached home after half an hour my landline phone was ringing and it was 1 at that time and when picked the call it was her….. She was too excited to listen what I wanted to say and I proposed her. But she didn’t replied anything she said I will think and tell u after a day or two. But I wanted to hear at that time only what she wanted to say. I convinced her a lot and finally she answered that yes I LOVE YOU TOO.
I was so happy at that time like I was on top of the world. It was an amazing moment for me. It was like magic happened and was like dream come true. But I did not knew that
Love can sometimes be magic……… But magic can sometimes... just be an illusion………
